delicious seasonal eats
Oh….hello. Just me with another summer ice cream recipe to ruin your diet. This Almond Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream combines three of our favorite flavors in one creamy, decadent ice cream. Needless to say, it was a huge hit with my family. Local cherries are on right now and they are as delicious as […]
I want to marry this Coconut Lentil Soup with Lemongrass and Ginger. Sigh. It’s so incredible. I remember the first time I had Tom Kha Gai, or Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. I could not get enough of it. The combination of flavors was utter perfection. I was making it at home several times a week […]
After I took the pictures, I pretty much ate the entire platter of this Strawberry, Fennel and Arugula Salad with Cacao Nibs by myself. And as much as I want to feel sorry about that, I kinda don’t. This is yet another in a series of many clean-out-the-fridge salads. I love those because they are […]
It’s July. It’s hot outside and I don’t really know why, but this time of year has me craving oven fries with aioli. This Thyme Aioli sure hit the spot. I actually hate store-bought mayonnaise. Like a lot. If it’s homemade with lots of garlic, I’m in. Otherwise, keep it far away from me. There […]
Blueberry, Cucumber, Basil Salad with Vanilla Bean Vinaigrette sounds interesting right? Here’s how this salad came to be. :) My little garden has started producing. That is to say, my container garden. The in-the-ground garden has some catching up to do. I fell in love with cucumbers last summer, so I made sure to plant […]
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the gorgeous Copper River Salmon we enjoyed for dinner on Sunday night. The color of the salmon is stunning! As red and beautiful as can be. Just as salmon should be. Our family was introduced to Copper River Salmon last year when I was part of […]
I always feel a little sheepish when I post a pesto recipe. Pesto is a no-brainer kind of recipe. I feel like everyone knows how to make it. It’s as easy as can be to swap out different herbs or greens, use different nuts and cheese, etc, etc. But I have to share this recipe […]
This week has been a doozy. Nothing simple about it. Just a bunch of complicated things I wish I didn’t have to think about. Do you ever have weeks like that? Suffice it to say, I was in the mood for a simple dinner tonight to help me relax before it all starts up again […]
So it’s finally summer around our neck of the woods and all my kids can think about is homemade ice cream and popsicles and how many hours they can spend outside playing each day. All good things, I think. Isn’t that really what summer is about? We ushered in summer vacation with the inaugural […]
The weekend if finally here. I’m so ready for it. This week has been non-stop running around, working, and all that other stuff we all have to take care of each week. I put my garden in on Monday. Finally. I bought the seedlings for myself as a Mother’s Day present. I took Monday off […]
